Existing bounds for axionlike particles. The QCD-axion region is marked as the hatched band. In the orange region, axions are a natural candidate for DM. In the lighter shaded orange area, axions can still be DM, but with decreasing mass, this requires an increasing amount of fine tuning. Axion-like particles can be dark matter in a large part of the so-far untested parameter space. The right green (red) regions are the conservatively (realistically) expected sensitivity of a dipole or wiggler search for axion-like particle DM. The left green/red region shows the masses and couplings that could be probed in a setup with a toroidal magnet.

The magnetic field converts relic axions to MW photons, which excite the TE011 mode.

Test signal
A test signal is required in order to proof that for zero result the detector was working properly. This test signal is recommended to be used during the whole run; it should be near the res-frq but not at resonance.
The inner walls might have to be covered by copper sheets, to achieve higher Q factors and better EMI shielding
The microwave signal is coupled out by a small antenna and amplified. A commercial spectrum analyzer can be used to detect the axion signal.

… Finally, optomechanical experiments might be the mostly sensitive devices to react on an additional external radiation pressure component like that from solar chameleons. For example, the measured frequency drifts or the temporally observed irregularities in Figure 5.9 of [14] are of potential interest to be followed further; in particular, in case the observed behaviour resembles solar diurnal behaviour or other solar activity during the time period this measurement was performed. Therefore, such or other experiments being sensitive to external radiation pressure, when performed over longer time periods, i.e. at least one day, a correlation to solar activity should be searched for. Last but not least, the highest sensitivity of Gravitational Waves antennas might be of potential interest, provided their unprecedented sensitive performance is re-considered following the reasoning of this work about an ubiquitous dark radiation pressure.

• Lose a factor of Q~105 in production rate; overall lose a factor
of 3x102 in S/N (for same total integration time). We gain a
factor of 10 in B2V. Hence S/N loss ~30.
• If the receiver noise is 103 times higher (102 from temperature
and 10 from frequency range) Another S/N loss of ~30.
• Then the overall lost factor in S/N is 103. The coupling is worse
by 30-100.
• Overall the expected sensitivity is ~10-13GeV-1 @ ~10GHz

Can we improve with B2V~500T2m3?

Maximum energy at which a chameleon particle can be focused by an X-ray mirror with density 10 g/cm3 (≈ the density of a Ni-coated X-ray telescope) and grazing angle ε, for several different chameleon models. The dotted horizontal and vertical lines illustrate one example of a 600 eV chameleon incident on a mirror of focusing angle 30', which is, for example, equal to the field-of-view of XMM/Newton. The chameleon will be focused by this mirror if n=4 and βm=106, but will pass through the mirror if n=1 and βm=104. K. Baker , A. Lindner , A. Upadhye , K. Zioutas, arXiv:1201.0079v1 [astro-ph.SR]

Minimum chameleon energy ω required for transmission through the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface. The atmosphere has at sea level a density of ρm ≈ 1.2 ·10−3g/cm3. (left) The minimum energy
at normal incidence is the chameleon mass in the atmosphere, shown as a function of βm and n.
(right) Chameleons at nonzero incident angles θ require greater energies for transmission, i.e., when the chameleons hit the plane of the denser surface less and less perpendicularly, more and more energetic chameleons can be reflected

although it is well established that the ultimate energy source is the coronal magnetic field,
the question of how the magnetic energy is transformed to heat the coronal plasma is still to be solved. ... one important issue is whether the heating is released gradually + continuously or in the form of discrete, rapid and intense pulses.
